I’M LATE!! (STORY TIME)
Yeah I usually post by now but I ended up playing Dust 514 all day so yeah. STORY TIME!!
I was in a skirmish match with a full Corporation (like call of duty clans) on one of the most open fields in DUST 514. I choose my start up class, an assault medic (my custom class meant to take out lone soldiers and heal downed squad members). I communicated with my squad as we dropped from the colossal MCC Drop ship into a massive black cyber fortress. It was platform based meaning their was no roof. It consisted of many strategic points like raised platforms and command centers. All across the map were various support Depots, Turret hubs and gates leading to the dunes outside the fortress.. My dropsuit rocketed me to the ground in to the metallic fortress we were meant to over run. All 15 of our team rushed into the fortress. As we passed its massive gate we split of into squads, the silences bearing down on us all. It was quickly broken by our team AI informing us a mutual station on the other side of the map had been taken.
Once we heard the AI it was as if our adrenalin had kicked in. On my radar I could see my teammates spreading out like wild fire sweeping the area. In less than 5 min we had hacked points A,C, and D. It was a strange formation since these points are on the out skirts of the fortress but point D is dead center. I knew my team was doing there job so I did what had to be done. My class has high mobility and shields so getting across the map is no real problem. I began to hack all turrets and supply depots in my sight quickly securing the south half of the fortress. As I took over my first turret it was as if I was warped right into the middle of world war three. This was like no other shooter I have played. There wasn’t much camping nor strategic waiting. IT WAS WAR!!
Mass drivers (futuristic Gatling guns. They are loud accurate and pack one hell of a punch, but they slow you down dramatically) went off like they could shoot forever and the body count rose very quickly. My HUD streamed alerts faster than an MMO’s world chat bar. Names lined up back and fourth my teams deal and my enemies downfall. I wasn’t ready for a fire fight just yet I wanted to secure the map as much as I could. I hid behind a turret as I hacked it when the most horrifying thing could come by. As a hacked a fully maned light assault vehicle passed me. Since our HUD shows wear we are if your close enough (prevents camping) I new they could see me. Luck struck hard. I finished the hack in time and mounted the 15 foot Gatling gun turret. I felt powerful as a saw my huge barrel. The enemy tried to escape and run away from the assault vehicle. I fired a few shots into it and the explosion caught two of them. The third one was baddy injured and hid behind a barrel.
I was shocked when I saw the swarm launcher (a Rocket launcher that locks on to targets and fires several guided missiles into its target) I rained down suppressive fire so he couldn’t get a lock on me then stopped firing to make it seem like the barrel over heated. He slowly cheeped out slowly getting a lock on my turret. I aimed vary carefully and fired. It landed right in his mask sending him flying. The Fight is far from over…
